Ab Jenkins, American hero

It may be a little imprecise to call Ab Jenkins an unknown American hero. After all, it’s safe to assume that most car guys know of Ab, his son Marv, and the various Mormon Meteors they used to break speed records on the Bonneville Salt Flats. Still, few people – including non-Utahns and the general public – may know the entire story of Ab Jenkins, so it’s good to see that “Boys of Bonneville,” a film about Jenkins that includes a good amount of archival footage of his exploits, has started to make its way through the film festival circuit. Here’s hoping it gets a wider release so the rest of us can see more than just the trailer above. (via)
